Everyday, we touch the lives of people around us. We influence them, push them, encourage them, and sometimes hurt them. It makes me wonder, how many people have been unwittingly destroyed by me, you, or anyone else.

After high school, we loose touch with many of the people we spent the last four years with. People move away, find new friends, and grow to the point of seperation. We simply don't know where so and so has gone, if they're happy, sad, or something else and most of the time, I don't think we care. My question is, those people who turn out to be failures or who are emotionally wounded, how much of that is the fault of those in their past. How much of that is the fault of me, you, or anyone else. As Aslan said in C.S. Lewis', The Chronicles of Narnia, "That's not our story and you cannot be told anyone else's story." So, we'll never know how we affect the people we come in contact with, but let us be observant and try to leave nothing but the positive on those around us.

Ummmm....

Well, I leave in 10 days and I think that for simplicity's sake I probably won't use this xanga much.

For all my friends, I'd like you to know that to keep everyone up to date once I leave, subscribe to this xanga.

I thought I would share some excellent thoughts I have stumbled upon.

"People don't know how to love. They bite rather than kiss. They slap rather than stroke. Maybe it's because they recognize how easy it is for love to go bad, to become suddenly impossible... unworkable, an exercise of futility. So they avoid it and seek solace in angst, and fear, and aggression, which are always there and readily available. Or maybe sometimes... they just don't have all the facts."

Anger and resentment can stop you in your tracks. That's what I know now. It needs nothing to burn but the air and the life that it swallows and smothers. It's real, though - the fury, even when it isn't. It can change you... turn you... mold you and shape you into something you're not. The only upside to anger, then... is the person you become. Hopefully someone that wakes up one day and realizes they're not afraid to take the journey, someone that knows that the truth is, at best, a partially told story. That anger, like growth, comes in spurts and fits, and in its wake, leaves a new chance at acceptance, and the promise of calm. Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child."

It has surely been an interesting last few days. Saying goodbye can be really hard, especially if you don't know for sure what will happen in your relationship.
For example, saying goodbye to Kelly, Stacy, Prunelle, Jessica, Anthony, Chrissy, and Zach will be hard, but I know that if I make the effort to keep in touch, all will be sorta well.
Now you take someone that you're not sure where the relationship is or where it's going and it's even harder. You don't know if the effort on your part will make it work. It's very scary to say the least.

So, here's to effort yielding positive results.
